J Foley

J Foley is Justin Foley, who is 1/2 of the Austerity Program (and was 1/2 of Polonium).

In 2014, I started making loops of really, really loud guitar drones. It seemed like an interesting challenge to try and create music out of some very specific limitations - 8 tracks, all constructed from acoustic recordings, loops of various length and no processing beyond some EQ tweaks. After a few songs I realized I liked the results.

The J Foley stuff (it didn't seem worthwhile to come up with some abstract name) comes from a different place than the Austerity Program. Some days I listened to the long drones and wondered if I should just keep them with no modulation or different sounds. But I think the songs are compelling - I listen to them frequently.
